Suite of 3 Male Nude Art Prints Lowell Nesbitt Gay
Offered here is a suite of three signed limited edition prints by well-known contemporary gay artist Lowell Nesbitt (United States, 1933 - 1993). Generally better known for his larger-than-life paintings of flowers — "I've been trying to treat the flower monumentally, to get beyond its prettiness" — he once remarked, his drawings and prints of the male nude figure are avidly collected and appreciated. The entire edition of these prints have been stored by the publisher since the early 1980s. The images will be familiar to Nesbitt collectors as "Untitled Nude 4", "Untitled" Nude 1" and "Untitled Nude 5." The images of "Untitled Nude 1" and "Untitled Nude 5" are reversed, and all are printed on smaller sheets than the edition of 175 (which generally are priced between $500 and $800 each at online galleries): * Hand signed by the artist in pencil LR * "Fantasy Suite" * Individual titles are Angelo; Greg with Lillies and Two Fisted Orchids * Numbered from a limited edition of 900 * Sheet size: 19 × 24 * Lithography on Coventry * Bright and fresh; never mounted matted or framed * Original tirage/Certificate of Authenticity * * Nesbitt graduated from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, and the Royal College of Art in London, where he majored in stained glass and etching. * * During his career he had more than 130 solo exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the United States and abroad, including the Stable Gallery, Andrew Crispo Gallery, Gimpel and Weitzenhoffer, Brooke Alexander, Inc., Stafanotty Gallery in New York; the Baltimore Museum of Art; Galerie M.E.
